"Mom is that how you and Mama fell in love?" Bryton asked.

"Yes it is sweetie." I smiled at him and gave him a kiss on top of his forehead.

I have not even thought about the past at all over the last fifteen years. I cannot believe I forgot about my journals. I originally started writing them to help me cope with everything that happened to me when I was younger. I would have never imagined life turning out like it did. I had put them into a box after we first moved into our own house. They where up in the attic, which is where, my son found them. I cannot believe he is already thirteen years old.

He brought them to me asking what they where. After I told him, we opened the first one and started reading. Of course, I never wrote down any of the details of Ashley’s sex life and mine but boy did I sure remember them while I was reading.

"So is that the reason why I never had grandparents?"

"It is honey, but don’t forget about all your aunts and uncles you have now. Plus your baby cousins." I smiled at thought of how big our family has grown over the years.

Leslie got married six years ago to a wonderful man. Jessica was not far behind her. She got married four years ago to Aiden of all people. I know I was shocked, especially since he is my brother in law now. Leslie has a three-year-old daughter named Brittney, and Jessica has a two-year-old daughter named Tatum. My nieces are so cute sometimes. I wish we could have had more. There where complications during the delivery for Ashley. She was unable to have any more children afterwards. I was never able to carry a child because of the damage my stepfather caused when I was younger.

"Mom! Hello!" I am snapped out of my thoughts by a hand waving in front of my face and my son calling for me.

"Sorry. I was just thinking about the past again."

"I noticed, so I was wondering if I can go to my friend Colin’s house." He pouted knowing that I was a sucker for it. He has the same beautiful brown eyes as Ash.
